I have a lot of catching up to do on my RSS feeds but I have read a few articles this week that have peaked my interest. Here they are…

Sorry for not posting yesterday but I did keep up on the deal threads and found two that I thought were worth sharing.
I’ve always been obsessed with blenders for some reason but my family rarely ever uses one so I didn’t really have an opportunity to create all of the things I would dream about – awesome milkshakes, tasty smoothies, and so on. This week I decided to take matters into my own hands and correct that. I found the blender in the basement (it wasn’t hard because it was in a box that said “Mom’s Blender to Keep”) and began to daydream about the great things I was going to create. Well, after I found the blender, I realized that I knew nothing about what I could and couldn’t blend, what combinations were good together, and how much to make. That posed a slight problem.
I did some research on blenders and blending recipes to gather the information I needed. I was able to get some really great information but I didn’t have any of the resources to put it into action. I kept reading about strawberries, protein mix, and vegetables. All I had was milk, oranges, and bananas. Allowing my inner genus to come out, I decided that was all I needed. Let me tell you, I wasn’t disappointed.
As the week progressed, I began to formulate a small shopping list of all the items I wanted to buy at the local farmer’s market for my blended concoctions. I added strawberries, more oranges and bananas, lemons, and limes. I also realized that I could include non-fruit items including oatmeal and peanut butter.
I’m still shifting from blender newbie to experienced mixer but I’m enjoying the journey. I can honestly say that I am feeling more alive and more energetic as my days progress due to my shakes that I have been making in the morning. I have yet to purchase any sort of protein or glutamine supplement but it is on my list of things to do. In combination with my shakes, I’ve been trying to exercise or work out each day. I have a lot of friends who regularly work out and they are giving me some tips that I should try over the next few weeks.
I realized that this is the only body that I’m ever going to get so I need to take care of it while I can. Heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol run in my family so I need to be extra careful of what I eat and how I treat myself. I think that my blender mixes are going to lead me to be healthier person. In the process, I’m going to be treating my body better, gaining more energy, and getting a higher level of self-confidence. My final goal is to be healthier and more fit person by the start of the new decade and I think I’ll be able to meet that goal.
If you’re interested, here are some of the drinks I’ve created in the blender over the past week…
1 cup of orange juice (fresh squeezed is the best)
1 cup of milk
1 banana
2 scoops of non-fat ice cream

1 cup of orange juice
1 cup of milk
1 banana
6 strawberries
1/2 cup of oatmeal
1 tsp of peanut butter
1 tbsp of honey
(This tastes like a peanut butter and banana sandwich)

Last week I highlighted a few places that everyone should be using during this recession – Hulu, eBay, and Redbox. I’m going to detail a few more resources that you can use to pull yourself and your family through this recession. We don’t know how long it’s going to last, but we can definitely get through it.
items they sell are secondhand, smelly, and dirty. This is most certainly NOT true. If you have ever set foot into one of these stores, you know that you can find some really great items here, including clothing, dishes and cutlery, toys, and books. Some of them may have imperfections but a lot of them are hardly noticeable. If you haven’t given discount stores a try, you are missing out.
